San Antonio doesn’t need an aggressive marketing campaign to grow its cyber warrior community

If you know much about the hidden technology within San Antonio, you know that there are a lot of cyber warriors who live and work in businesses within our city. Cyber warriors, as a group, don’t draw a lot of attention to themselves. They just quietly perform their job of protecting our nation from hackers and their ilk.

However, San Antonio, thanks to the quiet efforts of its chamber of commerces and local political leadership has done a great job in keeping the focus on our expertise. The announcement that the Air Force Cyber Command will relocate here was something that will help our city grow as one of the infosecurity centers.

We won’t think of something like CyberSA. It doesn’t attract new government agencies. What does make our city attractive is the growth of academic centers which help provide a pipeline of talent to staff positions withhin organizations. Add the lower cost of living and our location to the Gulf of Mexico, the lakes and our two amusement parks, and it’s easy to see why our city does so well in keeping the retired cyber warriors to stay in San Antonio after they have served their country.
